is it possible to play with the Original pc copy of Halo CE with the master chief collection?

[(fun)gi]

just curious would be interesting for a future lan party ig

The version of Halo CE in the MCC is Gearbox’s port called Halo Custom Edition, if that’s what you are asking.

The closest thing I've seen to the OG Xbox release on PC, after hours of experimentation and having played and still own all the games on console is...

If you play the "Lite" version of Ruby's Rebalanced, this is the closest thing to OG Combat Evolved.

His "Main" mod package is worth a play though, if you've beaten the game at least once.

no, because it is not the original PC version (it is in its core, but it is heavily modified at this point)

I'm pretty sure Halo Custom Edition was a player made version to play modded content lol,. "The version of Halo CE" that Gearbox ported was just a somewhat beta, not fully up to date version of the Xbox game. And CE means Combat Evolved.

its already in mcc since the PC verision just Halo ce anniversary, Which is already in the game so, Now if you were talking about the og xbox version thats different thats impossible

[(fun)gi]

im saying is it possible to play with someone with a separate copy of Halo CE using The Master Chief Collection one

[Faith]

No it is physically impossible they use different engines

[Faith]

SO unless they also have mcc they can not play with you

Everything about this is wrong.
Custom Edition was the version of Halo made/ported by Gearbox for Windows in 2002. It was solely handled by Gearbox under contract from Microsoft.

Because it's not entirely outdated, if you look into the patch notes and manually install, for one.

Two: Because the only way to play the Lite version I mentioned is through the Nexus. Only the main package is on the workshop.

Okay, I literally have the old PC game box in my room but whatever you say. You keep calling it Custom Edition, which is NOT what it is. Custom Edition was a modded game that didn't even contain the campaign, it was solely the multiplayer component with the ability to load modded content. Custom Edition was an entirely separate .exe from Halo Combat Evolved. As for what Gearbox did, you didn't even read what I said and called me wrong. No ♥♥♥♥ it was handled by Gearbox, that's what I said, it was a Gearbox port of Halo. But I am correct in saying it was a slightly different version from the Xbox game, this is common knowledge. That's why the PC version had missing shaders for things like the Jackal Shield, Plasma Pistol, even the skybox for Assault on the Control Room iirc, and slightly different textures for several things like Master Chief and Captain Keyes. And iirc, specifically about Captain Keyes, the Gearbox port had been using some slightly old beta files for his textures, in fact I'm pretty sure there was even an MCC community news posted here on Steam some time ago that pointed this out as 343 made attempts to amend these old issues that came from the Gearbox port that they used as a base for the Halo CE Anniversary release that we have now.
